China News Service, April 12th. The official Weibo of the Traffic Police Detachment of the Public Security Bureau of Foshan City, Guangdong Province released a situation report on the 12th, reporting on the unreasonable design of the road section and the imperfect marking and marking of the road section reported by netizens.
The report pointed out that the "electronic police" capture equipment of the department was put into use on March 18, 2020. As of April 1 this year, a total of 184,373 traffic violations were captured.
Netizens reported that a commercial APP showed that "a total of 624,149 people violated regulations there" did not match the actual situation.
In the future, a comprehensive investigation will be carried out on traffic signals such as "electronic police" and traffic signs and markings in Foshan, and timely optimization and rectification of problems found will be carried out.
The report pointed out that in recent days, netizens reported that they were captured by the “electronic police” at a distance of 43 kilometers and 200 meters from the Guangtai Expressway in Foshan’s jurisdiction. They believed that the design of the road section was unreasonable and the signs and markings were imperfect.
In this regard, the public security organs attach great importance to this, and the traffic police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau quickly carried out inspections with the highway owner units to study and implement optimization and improvement measures.
The relevant situation is now notified as follows:
1. Basic conditions of the 43-kilometer section
The 43-kilometer and 200-meter section of Guangzhou-Taiwan Expressway is located at the fork of Chencun Town, Shunde District, Foshan City to Jiangmen City and Gaoming District (Yunfu City Xinxing) in Foshan City. The one-way average annual traffic volume is about 19 million vehicles. Lines and reminders shall be set up by the road owner unit in accordance with the national standard of "Road Marking Lines", and shall be put into use after passing the inspection and acceptance.
The "Electronic Police" capture equipment was put into use on March 18, 2020, and it had been filed in accordance with regulations and announced to the public before it was put into use.
After verification, as of April 1 this year, a total of 184,373 traffic violations have been captured.
Netizens reported that a commercial APP showed that "a total of 624,149 people violated regulations there" did not match the actual situation.
Traffic violation fines are managed by "two lines of revenue and expenditure", and the parties directly handed over to the state treasury after payment.
According to statistics, after the launch of the "electronic police", the total number of traffic accidents on this road section has dropped from 85 in the previous year to 39, a year-on-year decrease of 54.1%; the number of people injured in the accident has decreased from 13 to 3, a year-on-year decrease of 76.9%. , The reduction of accidents played an important role.
2. Related optimization and improvement measures
Under the active coordination of the traffic police department, the owner unit will focus on optimizing and improving the signs and markings of the road section from now on:
1. Add a dashed line to the right of the existing solid line to enable vehicles on the right to change lanes and drive in the direction of Jiangmen.
2. Draw ground text signs at the far end of the fork, and add a gantry at 3 kilometers to set up lane-dividing warning signs and ground text signs.
3. Add text signs and lane-dividing warning signs on the ground at 2km, 1km, and 500m near the fork to clearly guide the vehicle to the corresponding direction.
4. Lift the right-hand driving control measures for trucks 1 kilometer before the approaching intersection, so that trucks can change lanes in advance.
In order to cooperate with the implementation of the above optimization and improvement measures, the traffic police detachment will increase police force, strengthen patrol guidance, and strictly prevent traffic accidents.
At the same time, a comprehensive investigation of the city's "electronic police" and traffic signs and markings and other traffic signals was quickly carried out, and the problems found were optimized and rectified in a timely manner.
The traffic police department has always insisted on listening to public opinion, monitoring public sentiment, and implementing reforms.
Drivers, friends and media reporters are welcome to put forward their opinions and suggestions through various channels, supervise the traffic law enforcement management of Foshan City, and jointly maintain a good road traffic order.
